Bookmarks as a shortcut on home screen

I have set Bookmarked links as shortcuts on one of my N8 home screens and they display just as WWW globe icons. Is there any way for them to display the text of what the link is, eg BBC News or National Rail etc.

There are several other apps in the app store that do this as well.

E72 Application shortcuts and home screen applicat...

Hey guys,
I`ve got a weird issue on my E72.
Whichever theme I use,the application shortcuts and home screen shortcuts(wifi search,calendar,chatsetup...etc) are keep highlighted
on homescreen.
I installed ovi store update and polar lotus screensaver from ovi store yesterday.
Since then my theme has changed and the two type of the shortcuts on my homescreen
remain highlighted,whatever I do with them.
I uninstalled the polar lotus scrsv.
I tried all of my themes and default ones,but same everywhere.
I use a black and blue(neon) blue theme.
It used to look like full black screen and blue icons,the name of the apps,and shortcuts also written by blue.
Now the apps shortcuts on the top and also the home screen apps are highlighted with light brown.
I guess the polar lotus scrsv has left some files or configurations after itself,and keeps effecting
the display or themes.
I tried to uninstall and install again all of the themes,but still no luck.
Has anyone experienced something like this before?
Any idea to get back the normal lookout of the themes wtihout highlighting anything(unless the theme contains highlighting functions)?
Thank you

Could you guys try this blue and black theme by Mr Jorik, to check you also got light brown highlighted app.shortcuts on homescreen,or yours full black screen nothing highlighted?!
I can give download link for the theme.
Please someone help ....

How to add a shortcut to home screen of iphone 5s

I would like to add a shortcut to my home screen. Specifically, I would like a shortcut to my voicemail and a shortcut to call my guy.

You can't add a shortcut to a function within an app (voicemail is part of the Phone app). There are 3rd party apps that can call specific phone numbers, however. Search the app store. You can also add shortcuts to web pages.
Have you added the numbers you call frequently to the Favorites page in the phone app? With that you can call a number with 3 taps (Phone, Favorites, Name). And voicemail is only 2 taps (Phone, Voicemail).

N8 Problem: Cannot add shortcuts to home screen

Hi, has anyone experienced this problem before? When I try adding any shortcut to the home screen, it shows a "running circle" icon on the home screen. Looks like it's loading, but it's just like that forever. This happens to all available shortcuts and most of the widgets except for Clocks and Map Apps.
My phone is updated to the latest Belle.
Thanks for your inputs.
Theo.

5800 Shortcuts Bar home screen shows no calendar i...

Hi,
My 5800's shortcuts home screen suddenly stopped displaying calender items. It used to show till yesterday when I downloaded the latest nokia PC suite and tried to sync my PC with 5800 via bluetooth. I even tried to get factory seetings. But it is asking for a lock code and I have no idea what it means. Any help is more than welcome..

Ok, this is how I solved it:
Back-up (I backed up to my memory card, I back up automatically at 4 am). After I did that, transferred al pictures and videos to my pc through USB.
And a hard reset (*#7370# if I recall correct). After that I recovered what I backed-up, and that's it! It was fixed, still had my apps etc.
Not the perfect solution, but it works.

ToDo shortcut on Home Screen

i am a big fan of todo lists
and i just got my new n79. I was dissapointed to see that i couldn't get a shortcut for the nokia todo app on my home screen. is there a way to do that?

If you use active standby you should have the to-do displayed along with the calendar entries. Though if your phone has the same os as my n85 it is a little disappointing in that the to-do list is nor incorporated with calendar entries as one short-cut rather than 2 short-cuts on the standby screen as was the case withthe n95. Also the to-do list now shows the individual entries on display, not clever in my opinion as i dont want the world to know my private information.

Delete web shortcuts on home screen

How do i delete web shortcuts that i have put on my home screen. Went in to itunes and moved the shortcut into the trash, but after syncing it still appears on the home screen.

* Tap the shortcut and hold your finger on the screen until the icons start to shake.
* Tap the "X" icon on the shortcut.
* Confirm that you want to delete the shortcut.
* When the shortcut is gone, tap the iPhone’s home button to stop the icons shaking.

App to make home screen bookmarks into apps?

As it seems there is no direct way to see if your home screen bookmark got saved in an iPad sync on the Mac, maybe an alternative approach can be done by some enterprising programmer? Why not convert the home screen bookmarks into short apps that are clearly backed up in your iTunes? I don't see the bookmarks actually saved like the Apps are in iTunes unless they are synced directly from Safari. I'm hoping to find some way to access the bookmarks I created on my home screen instead of the ones that are on Safari. Anybody know of such an app?

I also have an original iPad and have that behavior...usually when working on a site such as these communities in Safari. When that happens I do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignoring the red slider if it appears. That seems to clear whatever has been overloading the memory and tripping it.

Safari goes back to home screen when opened using Safari icon

I dropped my iphone Saturday, fortunately I had it in my Otterbox case which was in its holster. Thank God there was no physical damage to the phone. However, now I notice that every time I want to use Safari using the Safari icon on the home screen, it doesn't respond and kicks me back to the home screen after a few seconds. I reset the iphone first, deleted cookies, history and cache finally did a restore and still kicks me back to the home screen. If I click one of bookmarks I have on my home screen it works fine, it's unresponsive basically when it opens on a blank page. Any help will be deeply appreciated! Thanks in advance.

The apps (mail and Safari) are crashing for some reason. I would start with this.
Double tap the home button to bring up the task bar where all of your recent apps will appear. Hold down on the mail app icon until it wiggles - along with the rest of the icons - and then tap the minus sign in the corner of the icon to cloase the app. Close Safai the same way and continue to close all of the apps in the task bar. Tap the screen above the task bar to return to the home screen.
Now restart your iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider bar appears and slide to shut off. To power up, hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and then let go of the button. Try Mail and Safari again to see if that helped.
If that doesn't work - reset the iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. After the iPad has started up, try the apps again.
One last thing you may try for Safari is this ... Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Then restart the iPad like I explained above and try Safari again.

Changing Mobile Website Icon When Added to Home Screen of a Mobile

Does anybody know how to change the icon on the mobile layout when a user 'Adds to Home Screen'? Also, is it possible to add the mobile website to the users homescreen by having a button or code in place? Any help would be hugely appreciated people!! Thanks a lot!!

Bookmark saved in phone homescreen would be favicon of your site , which you can change from Site properties.
Regarding adding site favicon in homescreen , you can add the browser bookmark in homescreen first and then from browser settings , add bookmark with site name in home screen.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Home screen individual contact

Is there any way I can put an individual contact on my home screen?

you could send feed back to apple requesting this as a feature
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
if you could get a safari bookmark, save book mark to home screen "tel:+1-800-275-2273" you could use that to call the apple store. But I haven't figured out a way to set this as a home screen icon.

Videos on a web page will no longer play when accessed via a 'home screen' bookmark

iPad 2, iPad Mini iOS 8
I have saved certain web pages as bookmarks 'to the home screen' but since the iOS update when I open these pages and try to play an embedded video that is hosted on the website itself (as opposed to a YouTube type one) the video will no longer load or play, its as though the play button pop up is missing, they will play from a standard bookmark and they will play from the page when I load it up in Safari before I save the bookmark but as soon as I create a shortcut and 'add to home screen' they stop playing.
I've tried this on iPad 2, iPad Mini & iPad Air all running iOS 8, they were all fine before the iOS update so that's certainly caused the issue but has anyone else experienced this or know how to resolve it?!

it's possible. but you have quite a lot to learn or you should hire someone. it's unlikely you'll find someone to do all that gratis.
if you want to learn, check the video class. it will let you play the flv file without a skin.
you can also use the flvplayback component with no skin. that will add to your swf's file size with no benefit except it's easier to use than the video class.
the floating and disappearing can all be done with divs.

Where does one access shortcuts that are saved to the home screen? These appear to be Safari shortcuts. What am I missing here?
